Do Brits not use face cloths?

[UnicornSlippers29]

I'm from North America and I grew up washing my face with a face wash and a wash cloth.

Wet face, suds up the cloth and give it a gentle scrub until all my makeup is off and rinse with wet cloth. Then I use a toner on a cotton pad to remove any leftover traces, but there's usually not any unless I've missed a spot around my hairline.

I've noticed through travelling to hotels here in the U.K. and much of Europe that there are no face cloths (flannels?) in the rooms to wash my face with so I have to wet the bottom corner of the towel and use as a face cloth.

How does everyone wash their face here? Do you mainly use makeup wipes? I've tried a few but they never seem to work very well

• I'm always left with lots of makeup on my toner soaked cotton pad. It also seems a lot of waste that ends up in the landfill.

How does everyone ensure their face is clean from makeup & sunscreen without a gentle scrub and water? Was I using the wipes wrong?

We do use them.

I’ve never seen face cloths supplied in hotels.
I just wash my face with water, using my hands. I don’t wear make up

I use one. Pack them to travel as they covered in make-up and I feel bad.

Yes, but you take your own flannels with you.

Of course we use them but generally people tend to take their own with them to hotels rather than use hotel ones. Nip into any supermarket and ask for a flannel or face cloth and they will point you in the right direction.

Everyone I know uses one, I would take my own face cloths to a hotel, though.

We do but for some reason most Uk hotels don’t supply them. High end hotels yes more likely
you often get them in Europe tho

I always use one. But I would never expect a hotel to supply one, I always take my own.

I love flannels and have many.

Yes we do . I use a flannel every night to clean my face.

Yes I do. I call them flannels.

I use a Muslin cloth which I buy in multipacks and wash a few times before they go too soft to be any good for exfoliating

I always take my own cloths with me, wouldn’t think to use a hotel one

I use one,and also take one on holiday. Even if it's a hotel that supplies one I don't like making theirs dirty with make up!

I do no wear makeup but always wash my face with a flannel in the morning before my shower
Have always take my own if I go away though

Yes lots of flannels used here but we take our own. Feels more like a Toothbrush in terms of personal use than a bath towel.

I wouldn't assume hotels would provide face cloths even if they provided towels. I feel flannels are a more intimate and personal washing item. I use them at home but I don't wear make up. Hate wipes too but I know many women prefer them.

I've seen them provided in hotels in the UK.

I use one. You get flannels in certain hotels...not Premier Inn!

We do use them ( well some ) but they are so personal an item no would would ever dream of using a hotel supplied one or one belonging to someone else . A bit like knickers .

I don't use them, personally. I use little flannel two-sided cotton rounds to take my makeup off (double cleanse with cream cleanser and micellar water, and then an exfoliator a couple of times a week). I used to use flannels when I was using Ultrabland, but the way I do things now works, too. In the mornings, I use my fingers and a soft, oily balm cleanser.

I've always used them (flannels) and given them to my kids but my kids tell me none of their friends have heard of them so I wondered if they were becoming more uncommon. Never seen one in a hotel though.

I use them but they as above, they are not supplied in hotels.

I use flannels and hot cloth cleanser or balm.

I didn't use one until I was an adult though.

No, I don't. American DH can't function without them though

Hate the word flannel

Not sure why
